Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I'm running GSB 3.0 on my Slack64 13.37 system and it's been running great, but Gnome 3 uses Pulseaudio for audio playback, which seems to work ok with Flash & sound effects, but when I play anything in Audacious, I get errors which I assume has to do with the absence of a Pulseaudio Output Plugin in the Slackbuild of Audacious. (I was able to download an xmms-pulse plugin and use it successfully using xmms, but I'm not quite prepared to jump back to xmms from Audacious if I don't have to)

So I've downloaded the necessary files from a Slackware mirror from the source/audacious/ directories and have run the audacious.Slackbuild script, but I'm getting the following error when building audtool:

I HAVE installed multilib as per Alien's instructions, and everything seems to be running well, but in this case it seems like ld is finding the 32bit libs first and causing the error instead of using the 64bit libs.
I've looked and I *do* have both:
/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 AND
/usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0

How can I force ld to use the 64bit library in /usr/lib64 and not the 32bit one in /usr/lib?
I've tried setting ARCH=x86_64 and CFLAGS=-m64 to no avail.
